Hello chat

I upped my anxiety med dosage a bit ago and the anxiety has been so bad

Currently I am spiralling bc I've been unemployed for 3 years now and I haven't been looking for anything for the last few months bc it's made my mental health so bad i physically can't do it

I'm imagining it's going to be another few years until I'm stable enough to get back in there, and at that point I feel like I'm totally doomed due to having such a big gap and it'll be a never ending cycle

Idk if anyone feels like giving a pep talk I'd appreciate it lol

Also sry if this is the wrong comm the mental health ones mod only now so idk where to post

    hey spectre, linking here advice.

    i'd only just reiterate: if it were as easy as "lying" you would've done it by now. it's not, obviously-- you're in a psychic pickle, and its not easy.

    you need to start building up your resilience a little each day, and make a little holistic progress each day, and eventually you'll have enough momentum and enough things falling your way that you'll be out of it. it will require self-forgiveness, humility and courage, but you are totally capable of this. you will feel very strong and proud of yourself.

    (happy to bounce around ideas specific to your situation if that would be helpful)
